Apple recently updated the AppleTV software to version 2.3 and I finally updated after seeing Christina’s post about Boxee. I had signed up for a Boxee account awhile ago and finally got my invite last week. Watch this quick video to see why Boxee is pretty cool: quick intro to boxee from boxee on Vimeo….
I shot this video awhile ago and never posted it here for some reason. Shot at night with my 10.5mm fisheye lens on the Nikon D90 from the backseat of a Mini Cooper S while driving from downtown Vancouver to the north shore.
A while ago, Paul & Mike called me up and asked if I’d be interested in working on a project with them. You may have seen their work in London Drugs and a ton of Apple resellers from here to California. They are planning a huge expansion into the US shortly so it’s pretty exciting…
This past weekend, I dragged myself out of bed early to go to a camera swap meet with Peter. Didn’t expect to find anything (we did bump into Reilly) but ended up finding this camera in near mint condition, complete with box, manual and even the warranty card for $15: Why is this a good…
Years ago, I built this do-it-yourself poor man’s steadicam (which you can buy preassembled here) for about $20. It was for use with my mini-dv camcorder at the time. It worked pretty well and like that camcorder, has unfortunately been collecting dust in my garage for a few years now. I thought it might be…
I picked up this little guy (aka the Toaster) recently after seeing Peter’s success with it. It’s a network connected storage device. What does that mean? It means that you can put two SATA hard drives inside it, plug it into your network and access those drives anywhere on your local network. Until recently, I…
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this camera to be released since I first heard about it during the summer. Previously, I commented about the fact that most point and shoot cameras do a great job of capturing video so didn’t really see a need for a dedicated video camera on the low end of the…
I can’t wait for the LensBaby Composer to be released…check out this unfortunately low quality YouTube video of the co-founder of LensBaby demostrating the Composer attached to a Nikon D90 in video mode: One of the first things I thought about when I heard about the D90’s video capabilities was the ability to do tilt…
I’ve only barely had time to play with the D90 video mode – let alone even get familiar with all the controls and options but here’s a couple videos taken with in HD mode (720p, 24fps, 1280×720) – nothing remotely fantastic, just what I’ve had time to do so far: A tripod would have been…
I caved…and love it so far: Bought the D90 with the 18-105mm VR lens. Sample video (in ‘cinematic 24fps HD’) and pics from the camera coming soon…need to charge the battery first.
